With the ongoing fight against the Covid-19 pandemic, there hasn’t been much scope for entertainment. Theatres and cinema halls have been shut, going out has been limited, people have had to mostly stay in their homes and watch movies on their laptops. But now, Vizag is slowly seeing the light of the day, with theatres opening and the city gaining a more normal colour. People can finally go to one of the many theatres that are open in Vizag and enjoy a movie with their friends and family.
Earlier, the Andhra Pradesh State Government had taken stock of the Covid-19 situation and decided to allow theatres in the state to run shows with 50 percent occupancy and strict Covid-19 protocol. This included maintaining social distancing by keeping a seat empty between people, wearing masks at all times in the cinema halls. Though, the theatre managements were earlier hesitant about running shows in their theatres with these rules but now, with some big-budget Telugu movies opting for theatrical release in the coming months, these theatres have found the confidence to run shows and entertain the public.
Here are some of the theatres in Vizag which are open and currently running shows:
